Chapter Four: I Need Better Friends

It was finally Friday, and I was bubbling with joy. I would finally meet the people who Levy always talked to me about. At the same time, I was having conflicting feelings. I missed Yukino and Sting, heck even Rouge. We hung out a lot since we all became friends, but that doesn't matter to me. I really missed them.

School wasn't the same today though, I couldn't find Yukino anywhere. And we usually have lunch together. I did see Rouge however, but he quickly ran away from me. I felt as if they were avoiding me for some strange reason

I quickly pulled out my phone and sent a quick text to Yukino, asking her if she wanted to come over tomorrow. But she didn't text back. She didn't even open the message. School was already over, and I knew she always had her phone on her. I started thinking about our friendship and what would have happened if we never became friends. Glancing at the clock, it was only 3:50 P.M. Levy said she was going to call me when she finished her homework, but who knows how long that would take. My mind the drifted back to my friends.

'They're avoiding me,' I concluded. 'but for what reason?'

I threw myself onto the bed, and started at the celling. The thoughts just kept coming to me, I knew I was over thinking. I was getting deeper into thought. That's when I started hearing a buzzing noise coming from the other side of the bed. I rolled over to the other side of the bed.

It was Levy, instantly my chest started hurting. I was hoping it would be Yukino. I shook the feeling off and answered the phone. But when I tried speaking I found that I had nothing to say. I could even hear her calling me name, but I still couldn't answer.

"Lu-chan?" a soft voice called out to me.

"Ah...Sorry Levy-chan! I was spacing out. "I apologized. My mind was in a scramble, so many things happened this week, but what happened earlier in the week has been on my mind. I really couldn't believe it. He really asked me to take over the company and I willingly took it. And now my friends were avoiding me. "Anyways, where are we meeting tonight?"

"8 Island, do you know where that is? If you don't we can go to that café!" Levy replied, I could hear her shuffling some papers. "I can't decide what to wear!"

"I think I'm supposed to be saying that! And yes I know where 8 Island is…" I giggled. "Soo… Whose all going tonight?"

"Well I think it's going to be Gray, Erza , Gajeel, Cana, Droy and Jet, maybe Natsu."

"Oh! So I finally get to meet Gajeel?" I started teasing her. "You two are probably going to sneak off and make out somewhere."

"DON'T SAY THAT LU-CHAN!" Though I couldn't see her I could tell she was blushing. "Oh yeah, Gajeel said you look like a bunny when I showed him a picture of you."

"How do I look like a bunny?"

"It's a cuter name than Shrimp" Even though I couldn't see her face I knew she was pouting. "Plus, Lu, you're extremely cute, and bunnies are cute! So, it's like a compliment from him."

"For some reason, I think it was more of an insult, and yours is a compliment." I stated knowing exactly what he was trying to do, "If you haven't noticed, he likes you too. " For a moment, I could hear her breathing heavily.

"Why-Wh-What are you talking about? Don't be silly Lucy!" Her voice was filled with denial. "BYE LUCY! SEE YOU AT 7! DON'T FORGET AT 8 ISLAND!" and with that she hung up on me.

"What am I supposed to do until 7?" I said aloud, throwing my phone back on my bed. "I might as well start getting ready. I want to impress them."

Levy told me when we started talking that the school she went too had a school rivalry with my school. She said most people hated from her school hated Sabertooth, while my school hated them as well. She said it all started when their school founder, Mavis, met the founder of Sabertooth. And he instantly mistook her for a child. Well at least that's from what people say. Nobody honestly knows the truth. I also remember her telling me that most of her friends are from the club called "Fairy Tail", which was also founded by Mavis. The goal of the club was to show that they were a family and that family sticks together.

"Lucy-san…theres someone at the door for you." A voice came from the other side of my door.

"I'll come down in a minute! Let me just get ready really quick!" I shouted in reply. Throwing some random clothes on, I ran out the door and towards the main door. Who I saw surprised me.

In front of me was the very people who had been avoiding me.

"Oh…uh hey guys? What's up?" I was being awkward. For some reason, at this moment, I absolutely did not want to talk to them.

"Look, we just wanted to apologize to you." It was Sting who said this, "But we started hearing that you started hanging around someone who is a part of Fairy Tail. And you know that our two schools are rivals."

"So…Is it true you've been hanging out with someone from Fairy Tail?" Yukino asked, her voice was soft.

"Yes I have." I wasn't afraid to tell the truth, if anything I had a feeling this would happen sooner or later. "And for your information, she has become my BEST friend since the ones I have now decided to avoid me and especially lie to me! I thought we were friends. But I was completely wrong! You people are just like the other stuck up brats from that snobby school!"

"Lucy! We are friends! But you've been-" Yukino started.

"The point is Lucy, you're rich, you attend Sabertooth with us, yet here you are hanging out with some stupid fairies. They're losers Lucy. You already lost us as friends because you hang out with one of them." The once oh so silent rogue now had something to say to me.

"Shut up, and get the hell off my property, I could careless anymore." I quickly slammed the door in their face.

'Who needs friends like them anyway.' I thought sadly. 'Losing friends is what high school is about anyways.'

"Lucy-san, it is almost time for you too leave. Its already 6:30"

"YOU'RE RIGHT! TELL MY DAD I'LL BE HOME AROUND 10! BYE-BYE!"
